Sources claim that the phone is likely to be revealed in late June and unconfirmed specs have already emerged for the device. According to AnTuTu.com, the phone will come with a 4.3in screen complete with an 800 x 480 pixel resolution, a 1.2GHz dual-core Snapdragon 200 processor, 1GB of RAM, and a 5-megapixel camera.

The phone is also expected to run a heavily modified version of Android 4.3, with the user interface maintaining the Windows Phone feel of the first handset.

The Nokia X was heavily criticised for not having a designated home button and rumours suggest that this will be addressed with the launch of the new device. The first phone was also marketed as a starting point for first-time smartphone users with its low price tag of just €89 (£73) and the above specs seem to suggest that this will continue with the next iteration.

While it's true that the first Nokia X was aimed mainly at emerging markets, if its successor does indeed retain its low cost combined with improved specs, the X2 could become a serious consideration for the UK market too.
